The Joint meeting of the American College of Cardiology’s and World Congress of Cardiology (ACC.20/WCC)is the latest medtech/pharma conference to be canceled over concerns of the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19). The event was slated to occur March 28-30.

&#nl

Instead, the organization said virtual options for science and award presentations will be announced in the coming days.

&#nl

"The health, safety, and well-being of our members, staff, exhibitors, faculty and other stakeholders is of paramount importance," ACC President Richard J. Kovacs, MD, FACC, said in a release. "With an ever-increasing number of ACC members on the front lines of preparing and reacting to the COVID-19 outbreak, it is in the best interest of everyone to cancel the meeting and ensure our members are able to do what they do best – help and heal."

&#nl

ACC’s annual meeting joins several other high-profile conferences that have been canceled because of fears of the spread of the coronavirus. Last week both Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) and South by Southwest (SXSW) announced cancelations heeding the CDC’s recommendations.

&#nl

The COVID-19 crisis opens up opportunities for healthcare media companies such as Evermed to help with digital and virtual alternatives.

&#nl

“Growing concerns about COVID-19 have led to 30% to 50% of participants canceling their participation at some of the large annual scientific conferences,” Cass Wheeler, former national CEO of the American Heart Association and senior advisor to Evermed, said in a release. “We expect some societies to cancel or postpone their entire annual conferences. This will lead to reduced opportunities for pharma and medical device companies to engage the global scientific community with their latest clinical trials and innovations to improve patient care. It will also create revenue gaps for the medical societies."

&#nl

Evermed said under its new Conference Response Strategy, medical societies can turn their annual conferences into global, digitally powered, multi-day events.

&#nl

To date, the number of coronavirus cases in the U.S. is now more than 550 and 22 people have died from the disease, according to a report on NBC News’s website.

NeuroPace is spicing up the neuromodulation market a bit with a new nod from FDA for MRI labeling for the RNS system. The Mountain View, CA-based company’s RNS System treats patients living with seizures that do not respond to medication and first landed a PMA in November of 2013.

&#nl

In a release, the company said individuals with focal onset seizures that also have brain anomalies that require monitoring, such as tuberous sclerosis, brain tumors or multiple sclerosis, as well as those with non-brain MRI requirements, can now be offered the RNS System as a treatment option.

&#nl

The company added this will also allow people to receive the RNS System before committing to an irreversible surgery such as laser ablation while keeping their future treatment options open.

&#nl

“MRI conditional labeling opens up valuable medical imaging possibilities for our patients treated with the model RNS-320 neurostimulator, who can now receive full-body 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans under appropriate conditions,” Michael Favet, President and CEO of NeuroPace, said in a release. “I’m pleased that we have removed a potential barrier to treatment and increased the number of patients who can benefit from this life-changing therapy.”

&#nl

The RNS System is a closed-loop, brain-responsive neurostimulation system that was designed to prevent epileptic seizures by stopping them at the source. The device uses a brain-computer interface that was designed to treat seizures by continuously monitoring brain waves to recognize each patient’s unique seizure onset fingerprint.

&#nl

It can probably be argued that NeuroPace’s RNS system entered new territory when the technology was evaluated in a clinical study from Stanford University to help treat obesity.

&#nl

There is evidence to suggest that long-term alterations in brain function, particularly in the reward and impulse control circuitry, occur with eating disorders, including loss-of-control eating. In addition, there is growing evidence to suggest that there are discrete changes in brain activity, or biomarkers, which immediately precede loss-of-control eating events.

&#nl

As part of the study, the RNS System will provide the first long-term ambulatory recordings of human brain activity from this key area of the reward circuit, the nucleus accumbens. Data captured by the system will be analyzed using artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide initial insights into the function of the human reward circuit as well as to initiate the development of algorithms that can individualize treatment in the future.

It can probably be argued that NeuroPace’s RNS system entered new territory when the technology was evaluated in a clinical study from Stanford University to help treat obesity.

&#nl

There is evidence to suggest that long-term alterations in brain function, particularly in the reward and impulse control circuitry, occur with eating disorders, including loss-of-control eating. In addition, there is growing evidence to suggest that there are discrete changes in brain activity, or biomarkers, which immediately precede loss-of-control eating events.

&#nl

As part of the study, the RNS System will provide the first long-term ambulatory recordings of human brain activity from this key area of the reward circuit, the nucleus accumbens. Data captured by the system will be analyzed using artificial intelligence and machine learning to provide initial insights into the function of the human reward circuit as well as to initiate the development of algorithms that can individualize treatment in the future.
